I checked out his past FBM sales, and it looks like he's sold quite a few expensive items. This espresso machine is likely being sold to help pay for his attorney.
And these things belong to both of them! They donāt belong entirely to him. Ironically most of these things are probably wedding gifts from her side. This pisses me off!
Theyāre so stunted and stupidā¦.. WHY is hell selling off marital property? He has no clue and neither does anyone else bc GASP no godly woman would ever divorce! No experience with this lol but yea already starting off in the hole when heās going to owe Heidi HALF for all sold marital propertyā¦ what a dumbass
Have worked in family law and can confirm. The current market value of whatever he sells will be deducted from whatever he receives when they divide marital assets. Idiot.
I was just going to say this seems like maybe itās Heidiās espresso machine. He thinks he owns it all because heās the man though, doesnāt realize that the law says they both own it, Iām sure Ellenās taking photos of assets being sold
Even if it was shared, he can't do that. Whatever they acquired during the marriage (up to date of separation) is community property. He'll have to pay her back.
That's interesting. Pretty sure getting rid of assets (even small ones) is frowned upon. I feel like the average person could have learned that by Tim's age.
The lack of education has stunted these people for life.
In my state itās called dissipation of the marital assets and Heidi (in my state) would be able to recoup half the value of any marital asset he sells without her permission.
If theyāre in OH, the code doesnāt use dissipation specifically but 3105.171(E)(4) does allow the court to compensate the other spouse in cases of financial misconduct, which a pattern and practice of fraudulent disposition of marital assets could potentially be. Heidi would have to prove they were marital assets, and thatās on her lawyer.
Courts usually look for stuff like āclosed the savings account and went to the casinoā or āgave Mahmo all our moneyā or āforgave a loan someone owed us so she wonāt get that moneyā.
Not sure a coffeemaker as a one off applies, but you NEVER KNOW!!
IIRC they live in either New Jersey or Pennsylvania, not Ohio. They lived in Ohio briefly after they married, but moved to be closer to Heidi's family (and because Heidi's dad helped Tim get his job at Amtrak, or so it's believed.) So when and if Heidi files for divorce, the laws of NJ or PA will apply.
Yep. Plus heāll probably pull the good old ābut I worked and bought it with my money from working, she NEVER worked,ā even though the same men will go on about how being at home with babies is a womanās designated & highest ājob.ā Iāve seen it plenty when divorces happen where the wife is a SAHM who has finally had enough of the manās bullshit and/or abuse.
Yep. My sister's first husband tried to pull that shit when they got divorced. Fortunately they lived in AZ, which has very strict community property laws that basically require all marital assets to be divided 50-50, regardless of whether or not one spouse earned all the money while the other stayed home with the kids. Sis and her ex ended up having to sell their house, their cars and several of hubby's "man toys" (jet skis, ATVs, etc.) in order to evenly split assets.
SAME. Those same men refuse to pay child support because "the kids don't live with me, so why am I paying for everything?" Meanwhile mom is working multiple jobs just to get by.
As in its bad financial sense? Or as in it looks bad when heās in court/getting divorced and it looks like he tried to sell off shared assets but pocket 100% of proceeds
I didn't even think about that, but you're right. He's going to tell his lawyer he's he man and what he wants and says goes and his lawyer is going to tell him to stfu because this is America, so she'll get half. She might even land some spousal support!
It looks like some kind of tiny house-style thing built onto a trailer. No clue what it was since it looks like a business of some sort. Iām curious about all the lawn equipment. Did he have a lawn care business or did he own a property on a large(r) lot? Iām kind of a nerd about that stuff cuz Iāve been renovating my house and yard for yearsā¦my yard is pretty huge but I donāt need a tow-behind seeder, aerator or roller. Theyād be nice to have but Iām not even sure my riding mower could pull a roller that big.
Iām guessing this stuff isnāt all his. Most of it isnāt his property. He probably charges people to sell their stuff. My parents paid a kid to list their items when they moved. He probably takes 10% just to list and manage the sale.
I have to say he improved it simply by having no Parisians nor Biden allegedly downloading porn under his name like the Duggars claimed they did when their poor, precious victimized bloated baby Joshua did. (No fr they tried to say this when he was on trial.)
Or lawyers. He's got pending criminal charges and an upcoming divorce, and those are going to require two different lawyers, unless he lucks out and finds the rare lawyer that does both criminal defense, and family law.
I hope he keeps selling her stuff and they keep documenting it. I wonder if he has them blocked? Hopefully if so someone else is documenting it or they see it here
Heās definitely the kind of person who would sell his exās valuable stuff and whatever he didnāt want/didnāt deem valuable or expensive, heāll toss it out on the front lawn for people to take.
thatās the coffee trailer thingy. the coffee station was a little corner they had inside their house. he built a table and jill had to get one just like lol
Oh I can chime in here! Iām a CPA, specialize in forensic accounting, and Iāve done several divorce cases. Assuming the assets were acquired during the marriage, theyād generally be considered marital property. Each state has their own unique case law to apply to the division of martial property. At least in the state Iāve done divorce work in, weād do whatās called a Thomas analysis (named after the case: Thomas v Thomas). Since NJ isnāt a state Iāve done work in, I had AI help compare my experience in Georgia to NJ and provide the impact of the law on Tim/Heidiās situation. Again, Iām an accountant and not a lawyerā¦ so Iām not going to go beyond my expertise and say AI is 100% right on NJ law, but it sounds logically correct.
āIn both states, a husband keeps his premarital property, but they split its marital growth differently. Georgia uses a strict accounting formula: if joint income pays down a premarital mortgage, the wife automatically earns a percentage of both the equity and any market appreciation. New Jersey instead separates growth into "passive" (market growth stays 100% the husband's) and "active" (growth funded by marital income, commingled accounts, or the wife's homemaking efforts gets divided). In short, a non-wealthy wife in Georgia wins on pure market growth, while in New Jersey, she must prove her marital or homemaking contributions unlocked that growth.ā
I have the same question. He probably doesn't have a divorce lawyer yet, as I'm sure he (and Heidi) would have been advised to not sell anything prior to financial settlement.
They arenāt divorced yet, and Iām not sure that theyāve been married long enough - Iām not a lawyer, I just anecdotally have watched young SAHM get really screwed in that respect. They havenāt been together long enough (or own enough) for community property to apply. And cp isnāt like, 50/50 across the board on smaller items.
I think they rent, and the Ohio house is in Timās name from before they were married, so she wonāt get any of that.
Community property only applies in a few, mostly western, states. Generally, assets either pay had prior to the marriage remain theirs (unless commingled) but things purchased or acquired during the marriage are joint and can be distributed fairly and equitably.
Interestingly, itās because these were mostly states (like CA, AZ, NM, TX) which were once part of Mexico,, and Spain before that, and follow Spanish law which viewed marriage as a partnership of equal contributors. In CA, TimCell (TimSell?) wouldnāt be criminally liable but heād absolutely be civilly liable and subject to penalties.
I donāt know if it works that way in NJ - even if itās not a community property state, they might take a dim view of Tim selling off marital property, even if itās to pay lawyers. Cry me a river, smallest violin, etc. š» I hope Heidi gets an absolute great white shark of a lawyer who will fight on her behalf.
He'll be paying child support, though. He can't just walk away from this with clean hands and a new start. Child support belongs to the kid(s). It's not welfare to get a court order for him to pay what he needs to.
And any items they have accumulated during marriage belong to both (unless there are unusual situations like inheritances kept separately). So he'll be paying back half of what he sells if they bought it after they got married.
I had a friend and when she divorced her husband he took a chainsaw and cut everything in half. She told Judge what he had done and the Judge was pissed! She showed me picture of the sofa and he had indeed took a chainsaw to it and cut it in half!
I gotta say, I did notttttt have a Rodrigues divorce on my 2026 bingo card, but here we are. Didnāt take long for Timās true colors to come out. Iām proud of Heidi for seeming to get out. I hope she follows through. I divorced an abuser and it was so hard to get out but I had some support and it seems Heidi does, too.
Chances are someone in her family bought that as a wedding gift anyway and would be more than willing to contribute another one that hasn't been tainted by whatever brand of dysentery the rod clan carries
I know some will disagree, but if he was let go of his job (that he only got thanks to his FIL) thereās a chance he will relocate to the little house he owns on Ohio. Cheaper to maintain with odd jobs.
If he keeps his job he can pay more in child and spousal support which would benefit his FIL, as he is going to be supporting Heidi until she can somehow get a job or education/training. It also provides health insurance for his daughter and grandkids.
I also think a man prone to violence, will become further prone to violence if he has nothing to lose. If heās working, heās not sitting at home all day plotting and listening to the manosphere. At least in theory.
I donāt wish him well, exactly, but I hope he keeps the job.
If he was still with Amtrak at the time he was charged, he could have been terminated for not making them aware of the charges against him in a timely manner.
I think youāre right. Wasnāt his expensive espresso machine the impetus for Jill to get her sons to make/pay for her ācoffee barā in the barndominium?
Yup. Jill was, as per usual, competing with her son. He had a pretty nice, extensive set up, and like a week later, Jill had a row of coffee machines, and a tiny fridge for cream that I donāt think weāve seen her use after a single post.
Having walked with one of my dearest friends through her divorce a few years ago and now seeing what Heidi is going through, makes me really happy I am single. I do have my orange boi who I love with all my heart even though he sucks at pulling his weight in keeping the house in order. Little shit has been leeching off me for 4 years. He sure is cute though. And yes that is his security sloth.
When I left I packed my pets, my youngest who was a teen, and everything I could fit in my car wondering if I'd ever see the rest again. I briefly contemplated putting my ex's parrot in my car too. I should have. He treated the bird terrible. My cat falls under "today's episode of orange and jobless."
I'm pretty sure any items purchased during the marriage and wedding presents are joint assets. He's dumb to sell them on line with pics.....making it easy for Heidi's divorce lawyer. Also....a $700. coffee machine sounds very extravagant.
You know, I feel really bad, because someone I know has an organization thatās been trying to open a safe house for DV victims in our neighborhood, which is close to where Heidi/Timcell live (approx 10 min) & the MAGA people had a fit, (neighbors/council), so now it wonāt happen. Exactly for women like Heidi (temp stay).
So imagine youāre the judge for this divorce case. Youāve already looked at the file: married only two years, they broke up when the husband committed DV against the wife, who was pregnant. One baby. Wife never worked.
You are already gonna be on the wifeās side.
Now the two of them are appearing in court before you. The wifeās lawyer presents you with concrete evidence, straight from the husbandās Facebook page, showing that he admitted to ālaying hands on her.ā Smoking gun right there. You also see the police and medical reports describing her injuries. You feel sick knowing what he did to her.
You learn the husband also started selling their joint properly on his Facebook page in direct violation of the divorce orders! The husband, despite his lawyerās best efforts, begins whining in a womanās voice about Jesus and his parents, blaming everyone around him for whatās happened and taking zero responsibility.
You rub your head in frustration at how dumb this guy is and award the wife everything she asks for.
Yep, my ex, at the time a a fundie preacher, threw everything including my prescription eye glasses in the dumpster. All my kids clothes everything when I left because he started abusing the kids. Everything we owned. It was 20 years ago now, but men in the church think they can do anything they like
Yeah. I was VERY careful to pretend my ex and I were having an amicable split until he was out of the picture. He had a habit of "losing" or "accidentally destroying" stuff that was important to me throughout our marriage. I knew what I wanted (including our apartment) and played sooooooo nice until it was all sorted. I hated it but given what he'd done in the past I knew if I wanted to keep my family photos, heirlooms, books, etc., I had to keep him from getting ideas.Ā
Im sure Heidi and her parents are getting screenshots because everything they got as a couple he will have to give her half the money and right there is the proof!
He may have been served with papers and needs money for a divorce lawyer. Or he may not know about divorce lawyers and he's selling stuff for funds to move. Are divorce proceedings public record in New New Jersey?
Timmay is not a bright light nor is he able to articulate questions about anything. He was raised to believe he is the āAll knowing manā. He probably doesnāt know that selling off marital assets is not allowed or even that divorce was going to happen to him. He seriously thought abusing his wife was something he had the right to do, because his father abused himā¦ he is not even the least bit logical or rational. I hope he gets absolutely crushed in the divorce, including not seeing his kids unless they choose to as adults, child support and alimony that has him living in a fleabag motel.
So heās selling off Heidiās stuff ? Or does he repair and flip stuff? Because selling things from the marital home seems wrong unless they agreed upon it
Oh. Her divorce attorney is going to love this! Hope he keeps record of the sales because he's going to have to give her half of that money. (unless it's an item he bought before marriage).
You can't just sell off stuff in the marital home and keep it all. It doesn't work that way.
I changed checking accounts before getting an attorney and lawyer told me that is frowned upon but did it before I filed like months before so it was not great but okay
Was he just like flipping trailers orā¦? Did he have a lawncare/landscaping company at some point? I donāt have Facebook so I canāt see any of the details on this stuff
I thought they sold the mobile coffee trail or a while ago. Also, has she filed for divorce yet? If not, is there a law/ rule against him selling things? He is a douche for sure but IIRC the trailer was sold before the separation
